LIVE MUSIC: ROMA RANSOM
Roma Ransom are back by popular demand! Last time they played at El Dorado they had people dancing in the street and throughout El Dorado. Join us on August 10th for this popular duo featuring Eclectic Bohemian World Folk Jazz.
Great music should do three things- connect you to the past, inspire you to envision the future, and find you wholly in the present moment. Roma Ransom does all three. Their repertoire includes old-time traditional ballads like Shady Grove and St.James Infirmary as well as sounds from European cultures, mainly that of Romania (hence the duo's name) yet the music of Roma Ransom is distinctly their own. The sultry sweetness of Grace Easley on vocals paired with the couples' vast instrumental array combine to form a style that can fit the mood for any setting. The couple was trained classically from an early age, (Grace on violin/viola, Gordon on guitar) making them an excellent choice for weddings and banquets in addition to their usual venues, namely restaurants, coffee shops and pubs.
CLOSED FOR A PRIVATE EVENT
We will be closed to celebrate a private wedding party. See you tomorrow!
LIVE MUSIC: MILEMARKERS
Join us at El Dorado for live music featuring the Milemarkers, a popular request by locals to have them back after a successful set in May. The Milemarkers will be playing a mix of classic rock Americana featuring two vocalists playing guitars. Enjoy a crafted cocktail with vibrant music.
